Looking south across Meadow Street, which is Route 994, from the Orbisonia depot toward the Rockhill shop complex. The East Broad Top was the narrow gauge line that ran from Mount Union south through Orbisonia to the Broad Top coal field, and this is the engineering record's own view of where it stopped in town.
